Answer: C. 17.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2

BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75

BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.

A map has a scale of 1cm:20 km two cities are 2.5 cm apart on the map to the nearest tenth of a kilometer what is the actual dis
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: 50 km

Step-by-step explanation: So the map has a scale of 1 cm: 20 km. Next, you look at how far they are apart and see if the scale and the distance on the map are the same measurement. In this case, they are both centimeters so they stay the same. Then, all you do is multiple the real size, 20 km, by  

2.5 /1 . Then, 20 x 2.5=50. So the answer is 50 km

What is the midpoint between -2-3i and 3+9i
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

1/2 + 3i is the midpoint between -2-3i and 3+9i.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the complex number

  • -2-3i
  • 3+9i

The formula to find the midpoint of two complex number (a + bi) and (c + di) is:

M=\frac{\left(a+c\right)}{2}+\frac{\left(b+d\right)i}{2}

M=\frac{\left(-2+3\right)}{2}+\frac{\left(-3+\left(9\right)\right)i}{2}

M=\frac{-2+3+\left(-3+9\right)i}{2}

M=\frac{1+6i}{2}

M=\frac{1}{2}+3i

Therefore, 1/2 + 3i is the midpoint between -2-3i and 3+9i.
